color challenge: blue and green

for tag tuesday's latest challenge: blue and green. our challenge host is wendy. 

for this tag i use a sheet of dictionary paper to affix to my cardboard tag base, then spritzed it with blue and green watercolors. i took a tim holtz paper doll and colored it with blue and green alcohol markers. i added a flower, a dominoes border and a word i thought represented this fierce little girl.

love to all.

the circus is coming to town

for the new two week challenge theme at tag tuesday: book print

i covered my tag base with a real page from a dictionary then spritzed it with spray inks.  the stamps are from character constructions, one of my favorite stamp companies.

enjoy; love to all.

a sunday trip to the zoo

where some unusual creatures were seen...
for sunday postcard art "dictionary pages"

since i found a printable vintage dictionary page on pinterest with the word "sunday" already on it i went forward from there!  i glued it to a 4x6 cardboard base and added my images.  the images are from tumblefish studios "fantastical steampunk" kit printable collage sheets, mischief circus.

love to all.

who loves school and office supplies?

well, honestly i am one of those people who goes gaga at the office supply store.  why are binders and pens and rulers and markers and tapes so fascinating?  school and office supplies is also the challenge prompt at craft hoarder's anonymous.  for this challenge you must use some actual school or office supplies in your creation.  i used a real dictionary page and a paper clip.

the little girl is from the gecko galz "school days" digital stamp set and the "dwell in possibility" sentiment is from the gecko galz "chalkboard sentiments" collage sheet.

enjoy; love to all.

statues

the "statues" prompt at tag tuesday for this week stumped me.  in the end i made 2 tags -- one that failed to meet my aims and one i like regardless of whether it met my aims!  this tag which i feel pretty good about uses a favorite stamp from stampers anonymous.  this stamp is reminiscent of a statue or bust and i liked the effect from stamping it on a combination of dictionary and designer paper.

somehow she seemed to want to wear a lace veil so i gave her one, along with some other simple embellishments.

so, on to the tag i made first and which did not meet my expectations.  i have a photo i took on my cell phone of a dancing lion.  my friend and i debated if the lion was meant to be from wizard of oz.  we couldn't decide. but for my tag i attempted to add some wizard of oz elements (from a gecko galz collage sheet).  it just didn't come together as i wanted it to.  i'm sharing it anyway since it is all about the journey anyway.

happy rest of your week; love to all.
